New ligatures fi, fl and eszet for the trispaced lekton. Thanks! As soon as possible on line.

Thanks a lot to Antonio Cavedoni for new glyphs £@@@@æœ and so on and to Riccardo Lorusso for new &!    I added some new features and some new glyphs (ss02 + ss03). The glyphs are “trispaced”. It means that the space are modular, 250, 500, 750, this allow a better spacing between characters, but allow also a vertical alignment similar to the one possible with a monospaced font. We were thinking it was a bright new idea, but we discovered that was usual for Olivetti typewriters working with “margherita”. 

Ivrea, Italy, ‘Fiera della Parola’ , june 2008. A nice place, an old park, where the Historical Archive of Olivetti stages each year an event dedicated to celebrate ‘word’. Invited by the organization to present a project, the ISIA students of the 1st year MA, have setted up an installation designed to experience what the word ‘identity’ should mean if related to a place. Big white metal pages disposed through the park, where the visitors should compose sentences or little poems, freely, using magnetic words. Those words, were given to each visitor wright at the entrance of the park. Everyone was able to be part of the process, walking up the hill. Each word was composed in ‘lekton’, the typeface specifically designed to support all the graphic materials for the project.

I added a new source file of Lekton. I designed a basic shape of &. I hope that it will be a good starting point for new ideas.

some photos from “fiera della parola” in ivrea, awesome.

The glyphs in red have never been made. We hope that somebody someday somewhere…
